PARK doesn't work in my car.?

Question:
I have a 1990 BMW 525i. The transmission was just recently replaced. I know this was dumb, but while I was driving, I accidentally put the car into park, and it started grinding really bad. It has one of those shifters down on the center console. It had a button you had to push to shift, which now doesn't work. The button is just loose and doesn't do anything when you push it. When it's in "park" on any amount of slope, the car drifts, and you hear a clicking sound from under the car somewhere. Is there a simple fix for this, and what is wrong. Also is this a sign that the transmission is only going to get worse. Please advise.

Bummer, it sounds like you've broken the parking pawl off. I don't think there is an easy way to fix this, and I would not want a piece of metal floating around in my gearbox...
I'd get the shift lock button fixed too, so you don't accidently put the car in park when moving.
Oh, and don't push the button to change gears when moving.
